The Longer The Waiting

I have grown up in a family of fast paced, high achieving people. We are always on the go, always doing something. Idleness is not a word used in describing a Spaid. We rarely go on vacation and when we do it is not your typical chilling on the beach, catching some rays vacation. They are going to be packed and planned out full of things to do and things to see. I know no other way of life. I remember telling someone, "as long as I don't have two things scheduled at the same time, we're good and sometimes that is okay too." 

This morning at church we were studying Joshua 8. (We have been going through the book of Joshua.) You might not know the story that is in Joshua 8, so here is a really quick synopsis. Joshua and the Israelites have just had a military setback because of Achan stealing some stuff that he was supposed to destroy. God then rectifies that whole situation and helps the Israelites take down the city of Ai. However, God gives them specific instructions to follow. We read through the first couple of verses before Pastor Rob stops with his first point. 

"What God has for you IS worth the wait." 

I dropped my pen. I was thinking, "Really God?" You see, God has been pounding in my head for quite some time now that I should wait. I have no idea what I am waiting on but He lets me know when I am rushing ahead without Him. But, Man Oh Man! It is hard to wait! The hardest part is not even knowing when and what I am waiting on. 
In our society with its pressure to perform, perform, perform, is so hard to be that rock in the river saying this is where I am supposed to be for the time being. 

Literally every person I have talked to lately about spiritual things has brought up how I should just wait in some way or another: friends, BCM messages, sermons at church, and even random flippings in my Bible have landed on passages about waiting. 

So I am waiting on something. It is going to be worth the wait. My God will deliver.
